Fascinating Bangkok Thailand
World travelers continue to have a fascination with Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. The juxataposition of the traditional, slower-paced Thai life in an urban, bustling environment provide a unique charm that many find irresistible.
As Thailand’s largest city, Bangkok is full of modern conveniences. There are office towers, a plethora of shopping malls and centers, modern restaurants, and the same crowded street full of taxis and buses as are found in most global cities. Visitors can also rest assured that the Bangkok, Thailand hotels have all the modern conveniences and comforts they expect.
Bangkok is also a city of tradition. Tuk-tuks still roam the busy streets, offering visitors a slower form of transport (and often a higher price, so haggle carefully!). Some of the city’s khlongs (canals) are still in use and boat taxis and tours are available. There are a number of traditional markets throughout Bangkok, including a floating market on held on a khlong in the city’s Taling Chan district. There are also countless local restaurants and vendors selling local, traditional fare.
Thai culture is well-represented in Bangkok. The city is home to the National Theatre, the National Gallery, and the Thailand Cultural Center. Other attractions include the Bangkok Metropolitan Museum of Contemporary Art and the Chalerm Krung Theater.
Other attractions to lure visitors include the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the Ancient City, the Grand Palace, and the Temple of the Dawn. Bangkok has dedicated itself to preserving its natural beauty and has a number of beautiful parks and gardens throughout the city. There is also a Snake Farm, a Butterfly Garden, and a large aquarium. The city also boasts the largest Crocodile Farm in the world
